A CRAFTY Musselburgh resident has been selected to take part in this year’s Craft Scotland Summer Show.
Jeweller Hannah Scott will join 40 others in Edinburgh between next Friday (August 2) and August 25 to showcase her work.
The second floor of White Stuff on the Capital’s George Street will play home to a variety of craft and design pieces all made in Scotland, from cushions and textiles to jewellery, ceramics and glass.
Hannah grew up near the beach in Cornwall but now lives in Musselburgh.
She graduated from the Royal College of Art and Glasgow School of Art.
She gathers inspiration for her work through maps, cityscapes and textures of the shoreline.
Her most recent ‘Coastline Collection’ allows people to tell their own stories and capture their memories.
Also on offer at the Craft Scotland Summer Show are maker-led workshops, which include hand weaving, willow weaving and paper folding.
August 11 will see people being shown traditional bookbinding, while six days later, on August 17, attendees can learn how to create colour, pattern and textures on fabrics.
Children aged 12 to 16 can get involved in young maker workshops, a new element for 2019.
Irene Kernan, Craft Scotland director, said: “At Craft Scotland we are incredibly privileged to be surrounded by beautiful craft and engage with talented makers on a daily basis.
“Knowing the wealth of amazing work being made in Scotland, we’re excited to be able to share so much of that at this year’s show.
“With the largest number of makers ever taking part this year, the Summer Show is the best place to see what’s fresh and new in contemporary craft and the best place to discover new talents who are exploring interesting materials and themes.
“It’s particularly encouraging to see so many makers who will show their work with us for the first time.”
The Craft Scotland Summer Show is free to enter; more information can be found at craftscotland.org
